well ... in a way, driving a bus/brick IS kinda of a ridiculous stereotype.
actually, the bus/brick itself is a ricidulous stereotype. anything useful,
functional, un-adorned with style and fashion and vinyl wood-grain panels
on the sides is somewhat ridiculous these days. (my humble apologies to
anyone who has put those wood-grain panels on the sides of their bus! :)

and sometimes, just sometimes, like when you have to buy a part from a
dealer, you sort of feel like maybe you did marry your cousin/sister/pig. ;)
you get that kinda oh-what-have-i-done-i-maybe-ought-not-have-done-this
feeling, sort of a low dull uncomfortable feeling way down in your gut.

who did NOT marry his cousin (althought he has a couple that are FINE!!!)
